Greetings

I have just set up a box that now runs 1.6 (fairly standard net 
install) but I have got myself a little stuck getting BIND up and 
running.  I get the following error in /var/log/messages:

Nov  2 18:29:08 thatch root: /etc/rc: WARNING: $named9 is not set 
properly.
Nov  2 18:29:08 thatch named[113]: starting (/etc/named.conf).  named 
8.3.3-REL-NOESW Sun Sep  8 19:14:11 UTC 2002

nd/named
Nov  2 18:29:09 thatch named[113]: can't open '/etc/named.conf'
Nov  2 18:29:09 thatch named[113]: can't open '/etc/named.conf'

I can work out why it cannot open /etc/named.conf cos that does not 
exist ;-) it is located at /etc/namedb/named.conf.  Should I create a 
symlink or is there a more elegant way of sorting that out?

What do not know how to fix is the first problem about $named9 not 
being set properly.  I have read _some_ of the docs without luck and 
searched the archives for some reference to this error but I have not 
found anything so hence this posting.

Thanks a bunch
